Cage the Elephant Cover Tom Petty

It’s a song that they’ve covered here and there over the years, so it was no surprise when Cage the Elephant kicked off their Cal Jam set over the weekend with a cover of the Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers song “Last Dance With Mary Jane.”

Matt nailed the plaintive harmonica parts, and you could feel the love and appreciation coming from the excited crowd. Everyone from The Killers to The War on Drugs have paid tribute to the late, great Tom Petty recently – check out some video we shot of Cage the Elephant’s cover and get a taste of what it was like to experience it in person.
